At Terme Snovik, with the introduction of holistic Kneipp therapy, we have become the first Kneipp Centre in Slovenia, preserving and continuing the rich heritage of the former Kneipp spa Kurhaus in Kamnik. There, Kneipp therapies were successfully implemented as early as 1891, and the public bathing area at the confluence of the Nevljica and Kamniška Bistrica rivers was so popular that it was even recommended by Sebastian Kneipp himself.
Sebastian Kneipp, a German priest and pioneer of hydrotherapy and phytotherapy, developed a system of five pillars of health – water, herbs, movement, nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle. His personal experience of healing tuberculosis by bathing in the cold Danube convinced him that nature is the strongest ally of human health.
At Terme Snovik, every day is a Kneipp day. Kneipp's principles are woven into our programs, cuisine, experiences, and the entire philosophy of our operation, which has always focused on the well-being of people and respect for nature. In this way, we preserve a tradition that connects the past, nature, and modern health care.
The Kneipp Barefoot Experience, awarded as the Best Thematic Path of the Year 2018, is one of our most recognizable and valued programs, taking visitors into an authentic connection with the nature of the Tuhinj Valley.
Think about the last time you walked barefoot – not on your home floor, but on soft grass, cool earth, a forest carpet, or smooth water stones. On this path, your feet awaken, small muscles strengthen, and your body relaxes to the rhythm of natural surfaces. You will feel the softness of the grass, the warmth of the bark, the fineness of the sand, and the coolness of the stream, where we will also learn about Kneipp's water treatments.
The barefoot path, 3.2 km long, awakens the senses and takes you through Kneipp's philosophy of balance between body and spirit. The visit also includes discovering the beneficial effects of herbs in our herb garden and a small culinary surprise that completes the experience.
Let’s take off our shoes and allow nature to fill us with energy, invigorate us, and rejuvenate us. Before you embark on the journey, we invite you to experience it virtually first.
We invite you to discover the power of nature and indulge in the beneficial effects of the Kneipp philosophy for a healthy lifestyle. We offer a holistic approach to well-being that combines the power of water, movement, nutrition, herbs, and inner balance. Experience refreshment, a strengthened immune system, and an overall improvement in your health.
At Terme Snovik, we believe that caring for your well-being is a journey, not just a destination.
We value every visit where you show us your trust and surrender to the beneficial effects of our pristine nature,
thermal water, and holistic Kneipp philosophy.
Because we want every step toward your better well-being to be rewarded, we have created a special program for you, our loyal friends – the Kneipp Loyalty Club. This is not just a benefits program,
but an invitation to live a full and healthy life together with us.
Allow us to occasionally send you the whisper of the forest and the warmth of our thermal spa. By subscribing to our e-newsletter, you will receive Kneipp's tips for strengthening the immune system, invitations to events in the embrace of nature, and exclusive benefits reserved only for our friends.
Your privacy is as sacred to us as nature itself.
